TO STOP SAND
GOING INTO BUFFALO
Mr, Quin Calls Attention To Dralnsg:
kPairons To Statute To Protect
Channels.
Will tho dredging of the
creeks in Buffalo Drainage Dis
trict prove a success? This is
the paramount issue with all
Wndowrers of the district. Hie
..nsivcr is brief. Yes, if the great
volume of sandcuming from the
eastern side ol the water shed
can be kept out of the stream.
No, if the voiume is notdeci jus
ed. So long as tho present
quanity of sand is allowed to
enter the improved ohunnels
without obstruction, tho inevit
able reiults will be that the new
channels will be rapidly tilled.
There is a way to check a l irge
part of this sand before it icacli
es the cbanucls, if we will act in
time. The small quanity of sand
that will continue to enter the
strrains will be carried on bv the
current. At the suggestion of
Mr. P. G. Eason, the Chief Civil
Engineer in charge of the engin
eering o: the district, a statue
was enacted by .he Legislature
of 1913 of Nortb Carolina which
provides a remedy for the above
named trouble but this act seems
to have escaped tho attention
both of the Diahiage Hoard and
of the land owners of the dis
trict. . Section 6 of Chapter 823.
of the Public' Local Lars of M)13
(page 1060) reads as follows:
"Tout all land-ov;dors in a
draiuage lntrct, or districts,
nd in said county (Cleveland,)
after the larger streams therefn
shall have been ditched or
dredged, shall plane obstructions
across the channels or all un
dred.ied or un.iitched tributaries
thereof and across all hollows
and gullies that empty sand iuto
the improved channel, or chan
nels, of sucli district, or dis
tricts, according to plans and
specifications to be furnished by
the drainage commission or sncn
district, or district; and in case
any iand owner, or owners, in
such district, or districts, shall
fail or refuse to comply with the
reauirements of this section,
then the drainage commission of
any such district, after giving
ten days notice to such land
owner, or owners is, hereby
authorized and empowered to
have such obstruction placed in
the unimproved streams', hollows
and cullies, and charge the ex
a mses of the same to the said
land-owner, or owners, and the
same shall be a lien on the
lands of such ownei', or owners
as are classified in said drainage
district.'1

that all study the lesson careful-
' '
The public school has some
thing over one hundred pupils
enrol'ed. Miss Lois Williamso"
at Gaffnoy has been added to the
teaching forco. It is hoped that
the community will build anoth
er room and employ three teach
ers regularly at, there are enough
pupils o justify this move. Tho
toacliers havu requested that the
parents visit ti e school, Some
have already clone so and it is
urged that others do the same
It has been observed that oar
ents who visit their school are
willing to do something for the
benefit of the school when it is
necessary.
Tho upper grades had a spell
ing match on Fiidiy evening
last which proved veiy interest
ing to the contesfauts.
There is some talk of a debat
ing society later on but they
have not organized yet.
Miss Annie WHght gave a par
